[Ham-Computers] More on XP systray

[RJD]

Check mark the "Hide Inactive Icons" and then hit the "APPLY" button and the
arrow should appear in the ball.  It does on mine.

Thanks, Jeff, but I had tried that before writing.  When you Rclick on Start and

select properties the check mark must be in Hide Inactive Icons, but this does 
not return the arrow in the ball on the far left of the systray.  That arrow is 
normally a less-than sign, and when you click the arrow it toggles briefly to a 
greater-than sign before returning to less-than.

By carefully finding a clean spot in the tray and doing a Rclick, then selecting

Properties, then in the Notification Area selecting Customize, you see a 
Customize Notifications  window.  In that window are all the icons, and by 
selecting any of them a down-arrow box pops up so that you choose either Always 
On, Always Off, or Hide when Inactive.  So much for that, but nothing there 
returns the arrow to the far left of the systray.

I am not sure what I did to cause the arrow to disappear.  I need to ensure it 
is there each time I boot, stays there for the whole session, and pay attention 
to what I do in between!

I have not found a way to return the arrow.  I will try for awhile to find a way

and then I will do a System Restore to an earlier time when it was there.
